Netflix’s upcoming assassin thriller KATE has just drawn yet another prolific actor Woody Harrelson to play a key role in the film. The three-time Oscar nominee will star alongside Mary Elizabeth Winstead in this female-lead action film.
As per the latest press statement of Netflix, the story is written by Umair Aleem and the film will be directed by Cedric Nicolas-Troyan (The Huntsman: Winter’s War).
The plotline of KATE:
After she’s irreversibly poisoned, a ruthless criminal operative has less than 24 hours to exact revenge on her enemies and in the process forms an unexpected bond with the daughter of one of her past victims.
Harrelson recently starred in Netflix’s crime film The Highwaymen along with Kevin Costner and they both played the characters of legendary Texas Rangers Frank Hamer and Maney Gault. Next, we will see him in the upcoming post-apocalyptic Zombieland (2009) sequel Zombieland: Double Tap and an American war film Midway, directed by Roland Emmerich.
